PART 220--CREDIT BY BROKERS AND DEALERS (REGULATION T)--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 220.101  Transactions of customers who are brokers or dealers.

    The Board has recently considered certain questions regarding 
transactions of customers who are brokers or dealers.
    (a) The first question was whether delivery and payment under 
Sec. 220.4(f)(3) must be exactly simultaneous (such as in sight draft 
shipments), or whether it is sufficient if the broker-dealer customer, 
``as promptly as practicable in accordance with the ordinary usage of 
the trade,'' mails or otherwise delivers to the creditor a check in 
settlement of the transaction, the check being accompanied by 
instructions for transfer or delivery of the security. The Board ruled 
that the latter method of setting the transaction is permissible.
    (b) The second question was, in effect, whether the limitations of 
Sec. 220.4(c)(8) apply to the account of a customer who is himself a 
broker or dealer. The answer is that the provision applies to any 
``special cash account,'' regardless of the type of customer.
    (c) The third question was, in effect, whether a purchase and a sale 
of an unissued security under Sec. 220.4(f)(3) may be offset against 
each other, or whether each must be settled separately by what would 
amount to delivery of the security to settle one transaction and its 
redelivery to settle the other. The answer is that it is permissible to 
offset the transactions against each other

without physical delivery and redelivery of the security.
